Ricardo 5 The goalkeeper conjured a timely save at the feet of Charisteas, though he was badly exposed for Greece's goal.

Miguel 7Happiest marauding forward, though the full-back's collision with Pauleta rather knocked the stuffing out of his play.

Ricardo Carvalho 6Has excelled in this tournament. He was as assured as ever here until Charisteas put Greece ahead.

Jorge Andrade 5 Dwarfed by Charisteas, but his spring bailed him out until the defence caved in at Basinas's corner.

Nuno Valente 5 Quiet with the game occasionally passing him by. Reluctant to go forward when needed more.

Costinha 6The defensive midfielder was hampered by his early booking. Kept matters simple before he was replaced by Rui Costa.

Luis Figo 5 The early dribble down the flank promised much, but his delivery disappointed and his star appeared on the wane.

Deco 5 Flitted in and out, with his delivery from free-kicks - particularly in dangerous areas - was dire.

Maniche 7 Possibly the tournament's best midfielder. As long as Greece stifled him, Portugal were likely to be frustrated though his markers were stretched. Was unlucky to spit a volley wide as Greece struggled to clear a corner.

Cristiano Ronaldo 7 Confidence is flowing through the Manchester United winger's game, and the new teenage darling of Portuguese football revelled in the occasion.

Pauleta 5 His was a thankless task after a thankless tournament. The lone striker must be pining for a return to French football where he has always been so prolific.

Giourkas Seitaridis 8 The full-back was slick and effective, his wonderful interchanges down the right lit up Greece's forays forward.

Traianos Dellas 8 His superb tackle on Ronaldo set the tone. Calm and authoritative at the heart of the Greek defence, he eclipsed Pauleta.

Mihalis Kapsis 7 His was a useful interception from Deco as he threatened to play Pauleta through and the centre-half smacked of authority. Strong in the air and disciplined.

Panagiotis Fyssas 7 Did much to douse Ronaldo early on and Fyssas provided an awkward obstacle for the Portuguese winger all night.

Costas Katsouranis 7 Having stifled Pavel Nedved in the semi-final, he was assigned to Deco this time and performed his destructive work largely well. It was his snarling presence in the centre which kept Portugal's creative players quiet.

Angelos Basinas 6 Booked for a petty foul, but was as busy as ever. Much of his destructive work goes unnoticed.

Theodoros Zagorakis 8 Greece's captain and inspiration. A tireless worker whose class reared whenever he was asked to produce a crossfield pass or slip a winger away. A summer move for the veteran still beckons.

Stelios Giannakopoulos 6He struggled at first in an unaccustomed position on the right. Plenty of discipline and energy.

Angelos Charisteas 8 The Greeks' lone striker impressed all night, capping his performance with the goal from Basinas's corner.

Zisis Vryzas 7 The workaholic forward drifted readily to the left and enjoyed the occasional spell in the centre. A rugged worker, though it was his flick for Katsouranis to touch into Charisteas's path.
